Details

Turn what overwhelms you into something beautiful in the Transform Overwhelm Through Layers mixed media workshop. Bring images of something that weighs on you and transform it through collage, paint, and stitching. Across three hours, you’ll tear things apart, reorganise them, soften or amplify them, and stitch new meaning into the layers. Come as you are. Leave with something powerful, expressive, and entirely your own.
